CEO Who Threatened to ‘Start Killing People’ Over Gun Control Has Handgun Permit Suspended

He didn’t serve his country. Private defense contractors serve themselves. If it weren’t for government war funding and privatizing our military, this guy would not have a job. And I would say the same thing about the cops. They serve their own. They protect their own. And they don’t work. Most of the cops I see and know sit on their fat butts, find places to sleep during their shift and try to get as many free meals and cups of coffee that they can from hardworking small businesses. And if he was a chief of police then he really didn’t do anything. You only get those jobs because you know somebody. Nepotism in the police force is rampant. And I think you should find it kind of scary that he is essentially helping to militarize the police force. But, hey, aren’t you the folks that are always railing against government workers anyways? And complaining about how the cops aren’t going to be the ones that protect you when an invader comes into your home, hence one of the needs for personal firearms? Or is that just teachers that you complain about? Also, nobody said anything about welfare recipients. Get over this whole welfare recipient meme – it’s old.

Yes, only when there’s a fire. But he basically yelled fire in a crowded theater when there was no fire. That is called hysteria and irresponsibility. Mr. Yeagar, Alex Jones and tons of people on these and other boards are only fulfilling their own prophesy. When you behave like hysterical lunatics with paranoid delusions, you make rational people, who are responsible gun owners and believe in the 2nd Amendment, look like tools. And then you wonder why others think you’re crazy and shouldn’t have a gun? Gee, go figure. This ignorance knows no bounds. If you folks care so much about the tyranny of this government, why did no right-wingers join in on the lawsuit against President Obama over the NDAA 2012 legislation? Why did the majority of Republicans not only vote for NDAA 2012 but then vote against an amendment in the new NDAA 2013 to alter the nefarious language of that same legislation? Why did no one on the right say anything about the Patriot Act, but in fact wrote and sponsored it? Your “tyrannical government” nonsense is full of hot air. Your rights have been taken out from right under your feet through legislation mostly written, sponsored, endorsed and voted yea on by the Right. And yet you’re being spoon-fed unsubstantiated propaganda about the red invasion of our country. This is not 1950. And while unfortunately the John Birch Society is alive, Joe McCarthy died decades ago. And Mr. Beck is complicit in this red scare propaganda.

Try yelling, “Fire!” in a crowded theater, and see what happens.
Did You Know NBC Sponsors the Biggest Gun Show in U.S.?

In reply to LukeAppling.

So a historically Republican-run organization that doesn’t oppress the opposing opinions of entertainers who work there is hypocritical? It would seem to me that you would applaud that. You know, with all that 1st Amendment rights stuff and all.

Oh, by the way, Bloomberg is not a leftie. He switches parties like I change my underpants. He ran under a Republican ticket in 2001. And then switched to an Independent under the Republican ballot. He’s more a Giuliani Republican. But I believe Ronald Reagan switched parties too, didn’t he?

Actually, NBC Universal is not solely owned by Comcast. NBC Universal is a joint venture between GE and Comcast since 2011. And NBC was solely owned by GE since 1986. From 1981 to 2001, Jack Welch ran GE, who was a very outspoken Republican. In 2001, Jeff Immelt, another Republican, took over the reins of GE. So I guess that liberal media meme is a myth.

Now here’s a little irony, Mr. Yeager was not only a police chief but a defense contractor in the Iraq War and provided training to police and military personnel. He has essentially made his living off of taxpayer money. There is nothing quite so hypocritical than a person who resents government so much yet makes a career of being funded by the very thing they despise. What a phony!

Kind of a self-fulfilling prophecy really.
‘Elmo’ Puppeteer Ends 28-Year Career Amid More Allegations of Sex With Underage Boys

Hey, Blaze, why no mention of the attorney working for the Alliance Defense Fund (or Alliance Defending Freedom) being charged with child pornography? You can report on Kevin Clash’s allegations whereby your followers comment on the depravity of liberals and progressive, but you can’t report on the charges of Lisa Biron who transported a minor female to Canada and engaged in child pornography? Oh, that’s right, because Mr. Beck and Mr. Barton are buddies with the ADF.
An Informed Electorate? You Won’t Believe How Little These Young Voters Know About Our Gov’t

November 9, 2012 at 8:26am

In reply to Mary-Magda.

I think what Mary-Magda is trying to point out here is that it’s very easy to pick and choose examples that fall in line with a specific scheme and help push that idea forward. Anyone can find examples of ignorance on both the left and right sides of the electorate and aver, “Well, look at how dumb these people are. No wonder they voted for such-and-such.” But it’s a phony argument because you can also find examples of well-informed electorate on both the left and right sides. So for the Blaze to post an op-ed article and video of this sort and insinuate that the whole electorate on the left is ignorant is just as specious as if the left were to do the same because it’s not a representation of the whole electorate. Rather than providing a forum for honest, civil debate, what this is doing is propagating a rift between citizens, deeming them ignorant, evil, dishonest, etc. None of this helps the citizenry or the country.
Not Good: The U.S. Surpasses These Countries in Per Person Debt

That’s so weird because I was looking at a recent IMF report from April 2012, and it was saying that the US deficit is projected to go down, as well as US spending, over the next couple of years due to the PAYGO policy reinstated in 2010 and the spending caps put in place.
